If you go to the Multiplex website you will find their 2013 catalog with their new offerings. No mentioning however of any Hitec products. Whatever Hitec announces their challange has always been time to market. I am still very happy with my A9 and have considered switching to other brands but could not justify the investment as the A9 does cover 80% of my needs. I will welcome a more integrated telemetry system with a working variometer, throttle curves in glider mode (they should merge glider and airplane mode in my opinion) and maybe an extra channel or two.

Any news on the Aurora? Servo's are nice but this is the Aurora thread.

1. Negative - all new system and transmitter news to be released via Nuremberg Toy fair.

2. Was posted as a follow up to the quoted post in this thread which answered specific question this thread.
News relating to the imminent release of the new brushless line of non programmable servos 83xx was released earlier last year.

I never figured out why they were separated to begin with. Seems more like a marketing gimmick. I can see why one need a separate heli mode but airplane is airplane and how you want to set it up is depended on the airframe and individual preferences.

you add a whole bunch of different options when you head into the glider menus though, camber, crow, flaperon mixes on the throttle stick, launch modes, ect.

Why in the world would you need a multirotor menu would be my question, its 4 channels and then just switches for activating options. No mixes required, no special modes, ect
